This is abusive behaviour and is 100 percent not your fault in any way. If your father isn’t coping with your struggles, it is his responsibility to get help he needs and taking it out on you is awful behaviour. Do you have any trusted adults you can speak to about this outside of your family ?

Just remember that they CHOOSE to treat you the way they do, and it is not your fault how they choose to respond, that is entirely on them. Maybe you are a handful sometimes, but you don’t deserve that kind of treatment from your own parents. You’re struggling and you need support and not abuse. You wouldn’t treat a child suffering from a physical disability the way they treat you. It’s NO different. You are worthy and you are needed and you are not the sum of how your parents treat you. Hold in there. I’m so sorry you’re in such awful position, but you aren’t alone.

I hope so. I get worse every day and I want to die more and more. I feel worthless and my life feels the same way. My willpower is drained from this disease. I'm so tired...

They always pick their side, honestly, I mean I'm the crazy one who washes her hands 100 times after all. They enable me a lot (I know its bad but its hard to break this patterns after almost 3 years... I wanna but they get mad at me when I have panic attacks, not a great incentive) and people feel bad for them that they have a kid like me it seems like. I feel completely and utterly alone. It also doesn't help that the workers never saw their breakdowns but they have seen mine. I get that they're tired, but do they really need to threaten to kick me out every time my OCD makes me freak out and cry... :(

I asked them that too, if I was in a wheelchair if they'd do this to me too, they told me it was different. They enable me for years and 3 weeks before treatment they stop, it almost feels like they want me to lose my mind :(

Chellie, just hang in there. I can understand how painful hearing that from your parents can be. I have had family members straight up try and disown me because of how much I (unintentionally) drained them. Just hang in there. I want you to live! We all here want you to live! You can get better! Trust me! It just takes time and the right strategies, but I promise you, it is shining very brightly outside if this dark cave we are in, and one day, we will make it out and will finally enjoy the sunshine and freedom that is rightfully ours!

Chellie, I feel the same way... But, just know, someone out there (me) cares about you. Even though that might not mean much, because we don't know each other. I have you in my thoughts. I will add there is new hope on the horizon. New medicications that work different from all the other meds and new methode are on the horizon. I know that in your country that perhaps this mental illness isn't seen as super serious, but here in my country (US) it is seen as serious and there are many organizations working hard day and night to find ways to put this disease in the history books. If we can just tough it out just a bit longer, we will perhaps be able to live full, productive, and meaningful lives!

He has been diagnosed with PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and OCD. He's always been a character for sure, very emotional and quick to get irrationally angry but he's been taking meds over the years. Not too long ago he said something about leaving my step mom and/or killing himself along with a few other things. Things were seemingly normal after that up until recently. Him and my step mom were yelling-arguing which they rarely ever do, and my step mom finally got to a point where she told him to go elsewhere if he was going to act that way and so he did. However, he did come back that night and they argued again in the morning. From what I've gathered, he wants space from her, but she's only ever in the same room with him working or on her phone. She loves him and only ever wants to help him get better. She's the whole reason he got medicated and DID get better. He would act this way when he was with MY mom and would lash out constantly. Today I saw that he had disabled his Facebook and Instagram accounts, which he has never done and I'm concerned. Although we both struggle with OCD, this is not what this is about. I simply just need some guidance on what to do and what could possibly be going on with him. I know no one else is going to know him like I do but we don't talk like that so I don't think he'd ever tell me. I'm so afraid of him taking his own life, I've always known he's had it in him but this time I just have a horrible feeling. If I lost my dad that way I'm not sure what I'd do because he's the only person who will ever understand the way my mind works, and I really just can't imagine losing him in general.

I had like a really bad argument with my mom basically about her complaining about my “attitude” and “constant arrogance” like okay firstly 😭 yes i do have an attitude and am irritable but im not THAT bad 😭🙏 she was saying that im a “pest” and that “its not enjoyable to live with someone who makes other people miserable” like 😅🧍♀️ oh ☺️ and then i tell her that i know im struggling and that im going to therapy to try to get better and trying to possibly get a diagnosis and she says “your generation just wants something to deal with. You want something to be wrong with you. ‘Trying to get better’ isn’t good enough… would you be able to stand someone like yourself? You’re just choosing this antisocial, narcissistic behaviour and harass everyone… You need to pull yourself together. No matter how much effort we put into you, you will never be happy. You want some medicine? Some diagnosis? Because that will solve everything?” 😭😭😭 and the way she said “some medication”- she sounded so disgusted and appalled and now i feel ashamed… i mean im not officially diagnosed with ocd and it is never my intention to self diagnose- but im sorry its VERY obvious when you have ocd and know of ocd- its so distinct. Everything- the compulsions, reassurance, intrusive thoughts, themes, patterns, perfectionism- but she has me overthinking- what if i dont have ocd 😭 and ive just been lying to myself and everyone maybe its not ocd and im just sick in the head or trying to self sabotage- and especially when my supposed ocd is calm or not as loud i get so anxious “what if i dont have ocd…”

I've opened up recently to my boyfriend about my ocd itself: he knew I had it, just didnt rlly understanded it. Today, I was feeling really awful because of my incest ocd, and the toughts were awful, so I decided to open up. BAD IDEA! he said it was ok and stuff but he also said he did not understand: he is, fairly, disgusted. Plus, he knowns my relatives, which probably made him even more sick. Im so sad, he is now more disgusted by me, and I am too.
